In 500BC the first Roman Republic was set up, during this time two men called consuls were in charge, these had to be men. These men organised most things that went on in the country including whether to start wars and what the laws were. Advice was given to the consuls from the senate, this was a group of wealthy men. If you were a member of the senate you stayed a member for the rest of your life. A lower level of the Government was a prefect they ran the city. The lowest level of Government was the tribunes these people spoke on behalf of the poor citizens in the senate. There was also an assembly of men who were normal citizens. They voted on issues such as whether to go to war or not. http://www.historyforkids.org/learn/romans/government/
Government in Ancient Rome
According to an ancient legend, the powerful Greeks had come to the city of Troy (located near the west coast of modern Turkey) to wage a big war and killed almost everyone. A prince from Troy (Trojan prince) named Aeneas, ran away and escaped to the Mediterranean sea and found a ship and sailed to Italy.
He landed at a city called Laurentum on the west coast of Italy. He made a friend with a man there named Latinus who was the king there and the Latins all around the area. They made a treaty together and Aeneas married the kings daughter Lavinia. Aeneas' son Ascanius decided to build a new city and he named it Alba Longa. He was the king there and many kings came after him ruling for about 400 years. Afterward, the last king was attacked and overthrown, and his twin grandsons Romulus and Remus were placed next to the River Tiber and left to die. But something interesting happened, a she-wolf found them and took care of them. When the twins grew up they came back to the wonderful place by the river where they had almost died and they decided to build a new city right there on the spot so that others who were homeless like they had been might have a place to live.
They argued with each other over where the exact spot had been and so in the evening they decided to hold a sacred ceremony where they would watch for an omen (a sign from the gods) and let the gods decide. Early in the morning when the sun was coming up Remus looked up in the sky and saw 6 vultures flying by. But something interesting happened. While the sun was coming up he noticed that there were now 12 vultures. He told his brother all about it but they had a bad argument over what it may have meant and Romulus went into a rage and killed his brother Remus. He then went to the spot that he had chosen and started building the city. Once he had built the city he named it "Rome" after himself and became its first ruler.
The historian Livy wrote:
"Remus, by way of Jeering his brother, jumped over the half-built walls of the new settlement, whereupon Romulus killed him in a fit of rage, adding the threat, "So perish whoever shall leap over my battlements." -Livy, Ab Urbe Condita, 29 BC
Emperors played a very important in ancient Rome. Emperors were not around at the start of the empire until Rome decided that they wanted one man to rule as the leader of the empire.
Caesar Augustus was one of the most famous Roman emperors. Julius Caesar was also a ruler of Rome, but he ruled as a dictator, not an emperor.
When Rome decided that they actually did not want one person to rule the country they wanted to balance the power. They spread the power throughout three branches. The three branches were called:
Executive Branch Supervised the Senate and supervised the Roman army.
Legislative Branch These 300 people were the Senate and the most powerful branch. They had the most power. They owned lots of land and controlled how much money Rome spent on what.
Judicial Branch This group of people had six judges. They were in charge in organising punishment for anyone who broke the roman laws and rules. Their job was similar to the job people have today in the United States.
These three branches made up the government of ancient Rome.
To vote in Ancient Rome you had to fit a certain criteria. To vote you had to be a male adult who owned land. Any women, child or man with no land was unable to vote.
Tarquinius Priscus was the 5th King of Rome. He was the King from 616-579BC. He became the king because of his ability to form high society friendships. He is the guardian of Ancus Martius' sons (who was the 4th king of Rome). When Martius died Tarquinius persuaded the Senate to make him king. He was a successful king and was sent symbols of power. Such as a crown, a sceptre, an ivory chair, an embroidered tunic and a purple toga.
After he had conquered all of Rome's Enemies, he set out to improve the city. He built a temple to Jupiter. He also built a sewer system called Cloaca Maxima which was very useful that it was used in years on. After all this he was still a guardian of Ancus' sons, but also took on the role of being the guardian of one of his slaves sons. All of Ancus' sons got people to assassinate Tarquinius, but Servius Tullius quickly became king before one of the sons became king.
Caesar began in politics and military discipline when he was only 20 years old he had left Rome and had gone to Asia in 80BC and had joined to staff of praetor Marcus Minucius thermos the Asian governor. While in service to Thermus, he was sent on a diplomatic mission to King Nicomedes IV of Bithynia with the purpose of raising a fleet. Caesar seems to have stayed so long in Bithynia that rumours began to circulate about what he was doing. By the time he did return to Thermus, with the fleet he was sent to muster, it was widely believed that Caesar was having an affair with Nicomedes. His fast return to Bithynia, to settle some affairs for the King, added to the gossip. The incident, while there is no evidence other than speculation, was a great source of joy to Caesar's enemies later. They delighted in referring to him as the Queen of Bithynia. As he struggled for the rest of his life to quell the rumour, he turned into a notorious seducer of Roman women. Possibly, a designed effort in part to refute the charges, Caesar would later have affairs with countless Roman noblewomen. Wives and family of Senators were his favourite targets, and though he was never quite able to live down the Nicomedes rumour, he assuredly had an overwhelming reputation as a ladies’ man.
Before to his return to Rome, Caesar served again in military service to Rome. As Mithridates of Pontus invaded Roman Asia, Caesar jumped at the chance for further military glory. He took it upon himself to raise a small army of provincials and gathered enough strength to defend several small towns. Though technically illegal to lead a military operation without Senatorial commission, both cases were likely ignored because of the service he provided to the state. Caesar then returned to Rhodes very briefly until the death of his cousin Gaius Aurelius Cotta. Caesar was appointed to replace Cotta as a Pontif (priest), and by 73 BC, he was well educated in the political as well as military arts. Now 27 years old, he began the voyage back to Rome to begin his climb up the Roman political ladder.
In Ancient Rome, Emperors were very important. They thought that only one man was needed to be the leader of the empire. There were other important people in the Roman government so the emperor did not have unlimited power.
The Romans didn't want one person to make all the rules and laws for the Romans. They then decided that the power in the government would be shared between three different branches. These were the executive branch, the legislative branch and the judicial branch.
These are what the different branches did- Executive branch- They would order the Roman army in wars and would have jobs where they had the power such as tax collectors, mayors and city police.
Legislative Branch- There was 300 males who owned land. They would have the power to tell people how much money they could spend and what they could spend it on.
Judical Branch- They were in charge of deciding punishments that criminals would receive .
Julius Caesar was considered the first empire of Ancient Rome he was the empire and didn't have an assistant he ruled by himself until he died in 14 A.D. Julius Caesar name when he was born was Gaius Octavius Thurinus and he was adopted by a man called Gaius Julius Caesar . Julius Caesar sent some troops to take over Gaul and they did successfully extended their territory to the north sea. After he took control of the government he began to reform the Ancient Rome society and government. Julius Caesar had two sons and one daughter but one of his sons were adopted his two children were called Julia Caesaris, Caesarion and his adopted child was called Augustus.
The result of Julius Caesar death meant it was the end of the Roman Republic, there was a group of his war friendsthat spent the rest of their years trying to find a kill Julius Caesar assassin. Julius Caesar had named his nephew Gaius Octavian the sole leader.
Lucius Junius Brutus was born in Rome in the 6th century BC, his father was Marcus Junius Brutus and his mother was one of Tarquin’s sisters. Tarquin was the king of Rome from 535 BC to 509 BC. Tarquin was cruel, mean and ruthless. Tarquin killed most of his family members including Lucius Junius Brutus’ Father and all of Lucius’ Brothers so they could not overthrow him. Lucius Junius Brutus escaped the massacre by clamming that he was mentally insane he played dumb for years to earn Tarquin’s trust. Lucius was always laughed at and treated badly, but he waited for the right time to take his vengeance. During the plague of Rome which nearly annihilated all of Rome. He took Tarquin’s sons to the Oracle of Delphi to find why the gods had sent this plague to the Romans Brutus brought an offering to the god Apollo; he accepted the offer and said that one day Rome would one day be an empire.
Lucius waited until the right time and one day he did not have to wait anymore. Sextus Tarquinus who was one Tarquin’s son rapped and then murdered the noblewoman Lucretia. Lucretia was Lucius’ friend’s wife and this made Lucius Junius Brutus very mad he then took this opportunity to his full advantage. He found Lucretia’s body and the murder weapon. He then ran to the Forum told everyone in the Forum what had happened and he showed the murder weapon. Now all of Rome knows what Sextus Tarquinus has done. Rome was fed up with Tarquin and his son so Lucius Junius Brutus started a Rebellion and overthrew tarquin. And made Rome a Republic which made the Senators have most of the power in Rome and appoint Senate positions, to people who have earned and deserved them. Now all of the Romans have a safer system and they do not have any tyrants or kings who execute people for nothing. Lucius Junius Brutus’ sons even tried to put Tarquin back on the throne later on. But Lucius killed both of his sons for trying to restore Tarquin’s power. For this Lucius was appointed many offices many different times such as Counsel.
The ancient Roman government was a unique mix of a republic and a democracy. The Romans took many of their ideas from the Greeks. In ancient Rome, you were not allowed to vote on laws or elect leaders of the government until you were an adult. Even then, only men who owned land were allowed to have a say in the laws. The Roman republic continued to appoint judges and politicians even after they became a one-man empire. Soon after this change, the Romans created the S.P.Q.R which meant that the people of Rome could have a say in political issues. Throughout the imperial period, the Roman legion played role in ancient politics. They could protect the whole Roman empire from intruders or other armies whilst also lending out support t to their allies.
Emperors were very important in Ancient Rome. The Romans thought that someone needed to take control over their empire and lead their people, although the emperors did not have complete power over Rome, because there 3were other important people to also help rule the empire. One of the most famous Roman emperors was called Caesar Augustus. Julius Caesar was also a very famous ruler of Rome, but he was a dictator not an emperor.

HOW THE ROMAN EMPIRE WAS ORGANIZED The Romans didn't want one man to make all the laws, so they decided to give the power of the government between three branches called the executive branch, the legislative branch, and the judicial branch.
THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH There was 2 leaders of the executive branch called consuls and were elected for just one year by the upper class. They watched over the Senate and commanded the Roman army during wars. Other members of the executive branch were tax collectors, mayors and city police.
THE LEGISLATIVE BRANCH The Senate was a very powerful branch of the Legislative Branch. The Senate was a group of 300 male citizens who owned land. They decided how much money you had to pay to purchase items. The consuls appointed who was in the Senate.
THE JUDICIAL BRANCH There were 6 judges in the Judicial Branch who were elected every 2 years. They were in charge of deciding punishments for people who broke the law. Their job was almost the same to the job that judges have today.
Ancient Rome is that time in history when the Roman Empire existed. At this time the empire included most of northern Africa, Europe and Middle East. The Romans were known for their army, architecture and government. From 500 BC to 1500 AD, for two thousand years, Roman Government had more or less the same system. There were also changes too! When the roman republic was first set up there were two men who were in charge. They were called consuls. The consuls controlled the "army". They could say when to start a war or end a war; Women weren't allowed to be consuls! The senates would give the consuls advice, which then was made up from men from wealthy men in families. When you were joined into the senate you stayed in there for the rest of your life.
Ancient Rome used to be ruled by King until 509 B.C. because
they no longer wanted to be ruled by one man for instance their king. After that they became a republic where the senators ruled. Plebeians which were the poorer men and women were normal citizens because poorness was quite common were allowed to vote in the elections as to who they wanted to be a senate where as the slaves were not. With the new government the Ancient Romans wanted to make sure that they were ruled by one man so they set up a government that had Three separate branches an executive branch, a legislative branch and a Judicial branch.
Emperors were important people in Ancient Rome. The emperor didn't hold all of the power because there ere other important people in government. Caesar Augustus a Ancient Roman emperor was the most famous. Another ruler was Julius Caesar. He was a ruler but he didn't rule as an emperor but as an dictator. The Roman government had three branches. These was the Executive branch, Legislative branch and the Judicial branch. Seeming were not rules by one person to make up all the rules they made these three branches to even out the government. In Ancient Rome people were not allowed to vote for laws and elect people for leaders until they were a adult but only men were allowed to vote and not women.
